There is way too much yelling going on in this school! I've heard "shut your mouth" coming from teachers on too many occasions. Obviously lacking is behavioral expectations at arrival and dismissal. This school needs an overhaul!


Posted June 6, 2005

This school lost some wonderful teachers due to layoffs and transfers. But they still have good teachers there.

Posted January 3, 2005

My daughter currently goes to Captain Roth. Whenever I go into the school for a visit there are teachers yelling at students. I have overheard and witnessed on several seperate occasions teachers talking to our kids horrible. My daughter came from another more academically challenging school and upon arrival to Captain Roth the older teacher that my child was assigned to tried to convince me that after one week of monitering my child I should put her back to a lower grade. I had her removed to another classroom, where she is doing fine. However, I feel very pessimistic about our children's future in a environment with so much negativity. The school my daughter came from was a positive environment with younger vibrant teachers who still believed that with patience and encourgment they could make a difference. This positive school was Empire Computech before the layoffs! - Concerned

About the tests


In 2010-2011, the Ohio Department of Education used the Value-Added Measure to show how much growth students made on the Ohio Achievement Test since the last school year. The state expects that student test scores will show an average year's worth of growth compared to test scores from the previous year. Ohio's Value-Added Measure is not the same as Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), a federal measure which uses different criteria.

About the tests


Ohio uses the Performance Index to provide an overall indication of how well students perform on its standardized tests each year. The Performance Index scores are based upon how well each student does on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and 10. Schools and districts earn anywhere from 1.2 points for each student scoring at the advanced level to zero points for each untested student. The Performance Index ranges between 0 and 120, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
